Nice ending to a lazy Sunday... Thanks to my ever energetic canine explorer I was not destined to have a full day of rest on this Lord's Day π Son Boy was getting restless late in the afternoon so I decided to take him on a good hike to the Grouse Mountain overlook near Victor, … Continue reading Footsteps of the Prospectors

Pikes Peak Autumn
Autumn and golden aspen leaves grace the slopes of magnificent Pikes Peak Colorado this time of year, but with all the chaos from the move I was starting to think I was going to miss the whole show. Finally though, my truck is finally roadworthy and a day off of work coincided with a sunny … Continue reading Pikes Peak Autumn
Cripple Creek
I never wanted to live in the city, the mountains were my dream... And I did want to travel around the country and see new places but with no money and no real plan, the Air Force seemed to be a reasonable solution. Unfortunately that choice took me directly to the big city where I … Continue reading Cripple Creek
Eclipse Party on Bald Mountain
Kind of forgot about this... until I downloaded the camera chip from yesterday's shoot and discovered these images were still unprocessed! Well, better late than never π Actually I almost missed the event completely. On the day of the eclipse I was just out making my usual rounds, going to the gym, getting supplies for … Continue reading Eclipse Party on Bald Mountain
The Fawns

Riders assemble in Woodland Park Colorado and ride en masse to Cripple Creek where a cheering crowd of thousands … Continue reading Freedom Ride for POW / MIA
Darkness Cannot Drive Out Darkness
This title and powerful truth of course, a quote from the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. One of our most sacred rights in this country is our right to free speech, followed by freedom of assembly and freedom of association. These are called "unalienable rights", rights so important that the government is forever banned … Continue reading Darkness Cannot Drive Out Darkness
First Snow
It was a beautiful crisp morning... the hint of fall definitely in the air here at almost 9,000 feet high in the Rocky Mountains.
